i need to get one wheels re-sealed on the rear as it is pissing out air on the inside but appart from that, very happy!

G4MBS · 24-04-2008, 19:08

**RobJenko** · 24-04-2008, 19:13

andy will start next saying how it should be on black wheels! i may get them done but not black. might go a dark grey.

G4MBS · 24-04-2008, 19:16

Definitely not black, like you said, maybe an anthracite-y colour?

The Cav wheels look much better on my car

I like 'em

**RobJenko** · 25-04-2008, 15:45

yep cav wheels do look better on a cav i agree but im mega happy with my mk4's, they look good i think! maybe i will get them painted a darker colour or just wait for brake dust to take over!

Adam_Luce · 25-04-2008, 16:15

hmmm looks different mate

glad to see you didnt sell it haha

**RobJenko** · 25-04-2008, 16:20

so very nearly went a few times, i got offered a bimmer i very nearly went for just over a week ago, but after going for a blast to combe last week and it doing well, i decided to keep it. lots of changes happening soon!

donvaux · 25-04-2008, 16:39

i looks nice on those rob

**RobJenko** · 25-04-2008, 16:50

cheers chap, funny enough, when i was picking up my wheels, i was sat on your soft stars!

donvaux · 25-04-2008, 16:52

Fow16v · 25-04-2008, 20:06

looks good mate, think they would look real nice in a darker colour go better with the style of your car.

**RobJenko** · 25-04-2008, 20:09

cheers chap, in time they will go darker i think.

ANDYRACER · 25-04-2008, 23:43

Sorry mate but perfered it on the old rims.

**RobJenko** · 26-04-2008, 08:36

well ive still got the black 17's and wont be selling them so i have no doubt that they will go back on at some point.

**RobJenko** · 26-04-2008, 12:26

well my tyre i thought that just needed re-sealing was knackard along the inner wall below the rim. nothing that could be seen while the tyre was on the rim only when it was removed, so i had a new tyre fitted and now alls ok!
still chuffed with them, and i also sorted another niggle that was bugging me (and causing an annoying rattle - the one we heard the other night andy l) and re-aligned the front bumper and fixed it on better. very happy with the astra now and glad i didnt sell for the bimmer!

**RobJenko** · 26-04-2008, 17:06

some better pics (still not great but a lot better)
